Hello, I just used the first link for setting up Inkscape but the second link for downloading the python script (inkscape-gcode-0.0.2.tar.gz<http://dp.jstenback.com/gcode/inkscape-gcode-0.0.2.tar.gz> ).
Anyway, I would be careful with my script mods, it works very good for me, but I am not an expert at all. I just started with emc a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the author of the original script would have a better (nicer) solution for mm code.
